The Billet Labs folk provide a brief tour of this unfinished masterpiece that melds technologies from centuries apart. As indicated in the intro, all the main PC components are to be found underneath the belly of this beast. Looking at it from the rear, starting from the left, there are the graphics card outputs, then the motherboard I/O, and then what appears to be an exhaust from a PSU.
The layout we saw from the rear is confirmed when Billet Labs flipped this pot-bellied cast-iron rad on its back. We now see the copper heatsink and plumbing being assembled in earnest. “By the time I’ve plumbed it all in, this entire thing is going to be covered in copper pipes, and… It's going to be pretty crazy,” reckons the custom cooling PC artisan in the video.
We can’t make out what particular PC components Billet has chosen for this build. However, it wouldn’t do justice to the cast-iron Victorian radiator to use anything other than one of the best gaming CPUs and best graphics cards available. Those tend to require significant power and are demanding when traditionally cooled, so this specialized build might be perfect for keeping them running at full performance, quietly, without throttling. We can’t wait to see further developments.
